Supreme Court of the United States

Kevin C. Rotkiske v. Paul Klemm

December 10, 2019140 S. Ct. 355

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the FDCPA’s one‑year statute of limitations begins to run on the date the alleged violation occurs, not when the plaintiff discovers it, and affirmed the Third Circuit’s judgment. Justice Sotomayor concurred, agreeing on the limitation period but emphasizing that the plaintiff did not preserve a fraud‑specific discovery rule argument.
